SentraForge AI to Build One of India’s Top 5 AI Facilities in Odisha
Backed by GVPR, SentraForge AI is developing a ₹22,634 crore Sovereign AI Infrastructure project in Odisha to support high-density AI workloads.
SentraForge AI, supported by GVPR Engineers Limited, is set to transform the digital landscape of India by developing a massive 120 MW Sovereign AI Infrastructure project in Odisha. This ambitious initiative aims to address the surging global demand for high-performance computing required to power advanced artificial intelligence workloads.
A ₹22,634 Crore Investment in AI Infrastructure
The proposed development involves a significant investment of ₹22,634 crore. Unlike traditional data centers, this facility is being engineered specifically for the unique demands of the AI era. High-density AI computing requires specialized infrastructure, including resilient power systems, advanced cooling technologies, high-speed networking, and secure data environments to manage increasingly complex workloads.
The project is being strategically located in Odisha, leveraging the state's growing industrial base, reliable power availability, and an emerging technology ecosystem to provide a solid foundation for large-scale AI operations.
Focus on Sovereignty and Security
A defining feature of this project is its focus on "Sovereign AI." SentraForge AI is working toward a MeitY-compliant sovereign cloud enclave. This is designed to provide a secure environment where data control, governance, and jurisdiction are strictly maintained—a critical requirement for government bodies, regulated industries, and research institutions handling sensitive data.
By creating an Indian-controlled environment, the project ensures that critical workloads can operate within domestic boundaries, reducing reliance on conventional global cloud architectures.
The NeoClouds Vision: Scaling for the Future
This initiative is a core part of SentraForge AI’s broader NeoClouds vision. The goal is to establish a new infrastructure layer specifically for AI-native computing, combining high-density compute with secure cloud capabilities.
While the project starts with a 120 MW capacity, the roadmap is built for scalability. The infrastructure is designed to expand seamlessly as the demand for AI compute grows, supporting everything from large-scale analytics to sophisticated enterprise AI applications.
“The AI race is increasingly becoming an infrastructure race. The models and applications being developed today will require a fundamentally different computing foundation to operate at scale. Our vision is to build sovereign AI infrastructure that combines high-density compute, secure cloud environments and the ability to scale, giving Indian organisations the infrastructure required to participate meaningfully in the AI economy,” said Karthik Krishnan, CEO & Co-Founder of SentraForge AI.
Strategic Partnership with GVPR Engineers
The project is anchored by GVPR Engineers Limited, which serves as a core equity backer. GVPR brings extensive large-scale infrastructure and execution expertise to the venture, ensuring that SentraForge AI’s technological vision is matched by robust physical and structural engineering. The resulting facility will be an integrated environment, encompassing power systems, cooling, networking, and cybersecurity to support the next generation of digital infrastructure.
